He probably meant 351 V6! Where's my tar?

I have a well built 305v6. It pulls an honest 250hp and 400lbs of torque. But I other plans for it. The k truck build has a 434 ci bigblock popping out 450 hp and 500+ torque. And besides the frame. And a nice body nothing is original.

Ok then, but you have to show a ton of pictures.

Man I would love to know what you did to that 305! Can you post pictures and specs? 400 torque is alot!

Jeannie will let us mention other GM motors, but just briefly, She is good that way, But this is a GMC Club. If you put a Chevy in a GMC, consider that you may be shunned. BUTT, If that's what it takes to get it running, we can be temporary BFF's.

I have never advocated re powering working trucks. My 60 went from a swapped 350 back to a 305a. But the k truck is a compilation of 3 61's that all had huge issues. And really were parts. The 61 is a purpose built truck and it's being mentioned to show how certain improvements can be done to the k platform. Plus after a dozen or more 60-66 K truck builds I think this one will be a good reference for others. Fetch. No pics of the v6 mods until I am sure this is all going to work out here on 60-66. Plenty of pics will flow on the 61 K build. T J. Its a turbo charged v6. Simple.

Turbo charged V6 sounds like a baaaaddd motor scooter! Can't wait to see that one. The K was toast. At least you got it back on the road.

Sweet! Really hoping to see this one. I did a 4 barrel mod and dual exhaust on my 305. Made for a great improvement, but nothing like 400 foot pounds!

My comment was a joke reflecting on a moment when I got in trouble for advocating the use of a Chevy motor. The situation was handled in a very friendly manor. I did get a better understanding of the Clubs goals. Disregard my attempt at humor.

I have been out to many car shows & Not seeing too many of our beloved GMC trucks. Not really doing much to my truck as it does not require a lot of work, just stuff to make it better for the car show season.
